SSJCLIFF exactly. She's just being selfish. She's got a patient supportive boyfriend who's willing to listen to and be there for her.

While tat is true you don't say that to someone who is already feeling rock bottom. You say that cold hard fact when they are in a more stable state of mind. This kinda rubbing salt in the wound for Penny.

Yeah, it's mostly about luck.

She's naive, she's your typical popular high school girl trope, she was just unaware of the reality. I mean a waitress? That was her job, a waitress, she had her acting career but that didn't go anywhere. At least Christopher's acting career went well for him. He didn't quit because it didn't lead to nowhere, he was asked to leave because he's been doing it quite some time. Unlike Penny, Christopher had many acting roles, several hygiene, razor, and food commercials. He may not had a main role in TV shows but at least he appeared as a background character in them.

To be truly successful in Hollywood you need to join the masons and partake in some real weird stuff.

If he got past the guys with guns, I bet he really would kick Mark Harmons ass

I know rite! I kinda love it :D

Someone noticed it too!

Its kind of irritating

Seetha Ramaswamy no, irritateen! jk lol

It’s part of the Midwestern accent. Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyomeen, etc.

That's not true: his first Hollywood role was at that age, but he was on stage and on series much earlier than that

msinvincible2000 A.K.A. his first _major_ film role. Not many people knew about him until he played in Die Hard.

Alan who?

Barbie Lee Hans Gruber from Die Hard. The Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Snape from Harry Potter. Judge Turpin from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. You'd probably know him if you saw him. His voice is unmistakable.

Snape, Snape, Severus Snape

omg sooo true

Is it ? Because in sports that so exactly untrue.

@@antondegroot6061 Not really, there's only 1700 players in the NFL for example, how many athletically gifted people do you think got passed up for those mere 1700?

@@VindexSolis it's not literally 1 million to 1. For it to be one million to one, if we assume your number (1700), there would have to be 1.7 billion people interested in a career as an NFL player. Not only that but the number 1700 is incorrect, there are roughly 1700 players active on NFL rosters during the season (53 per team), however that's not accounting for practice squad for example, during preseason there are 90 players per team, which would make that number 2880. Plus, there is a very high rotation in the NFL, yes there are players that play over a decade in the league but that's not the norm, on average an NFL player's career lasts 3 season, most of the players are out of the league by their third season and there are hundreds of new players that enter through the draft every year. However, with that being said, I agree in the figurative connotation of the phrase that a person's chance to make it in the NFL is "a million to one," and I do agree that people should be made aware of that just like in the video Leonard made Penny aware of how low the chances of succeeding in Hollywood really are.

@@michelb.5186 Sheldon, is that you?

And a good thought it is, too.

And she got Howard with Bernadette, discovered how Raj could speak to women with alcohol, she was the first one Raj could speak to and convinced Sheldon to man up and be Amy's boyfriend.

If you think about it, the series is really "about" Leonard and Penny, with Sheldon as their "wacky neighbor." But it's done subtly enough that you don't notice.

+xntric49 Yes, she is a very important character but I'd say the main one is Leonard, it was him that got all these people together, he was friends with Howard and Raj, was roommates with Sheldon and he approached Penny. Sheldon is the Icon, Leonard the Glue and Penny the evolver? I dunno, something like that.

***** Yes, you're right, and there's no argument that Sheldon is the superstar. But here's my belief: A less funny Sheldon would just be a less funny Sheldon, but a miscast Penny would have made the whole thing fall apart. We have to believe she's hawt and way out of Leonard's league, but we also have to believe her life is a mess and that her eventual pairing with Leonard is realistic after all. She, and they, pull it off perfectly. Of course, I'm talking about the first six or seven seasons, not the seasons we're in now that are just stretching things out for more money. The show should have ended with a happy wedding for Leonard and Penny, and it should have ended two seasons ago.

you're reminded of Friends because Big Bang Theory is constantly trying to steal jokes and situations from Friends. this is just 1 example of it.

Lol joey couldnt care less

Rinhlui CiRa I love you for this!! Love Friends for everrr

why many people upset about stealing or plagiarism ... to be honest friend and bb are great shows and plz enjoy it rather than excoriation

@David Stephens actually they didnt, there might be a few scenes inspired, but on the whole friends was orignal and the best sitcom. P.s I love the big bang theory, but friends forever.

Andreja Milivojevic She didn't want the truth. She wanted her ego fluffed.

Alex Severinski she wanted comfort lol, why do so many people love to beat Penny down so much even when her reactions to certain situations are completely understandable?

@@graffititurtle11 Yes, she wanted comfort. Yet she asked for TOTAL 100% HONESTY.

Dane Youssef that’s not even what I said. Penny is not a bad person for wanting to believe the lie that she is a good actress because she loves acting. Get off your high horse, nobody’s perfect and that includes you.

@@graffititurtle11 Boy, you have more than your share of flaws. One of which is your own inability to comprehend someone else's words yourself. She IS a solid actress--but the talent pool has an overflow bigger than the ocean. The point is she asks for something in particular--she gets it, and of course--guns down the messenger.

She got roles, just not very good ones that would lead her to stardom and not enough of those to make a living.

I agree, and I would also add she's quite lazy and unmotivated. not like she was really putting her heart and soul into it. And she's acting like it's a shock to her when Leonard said it's a small chance, I would have thought that was obvious from day 1

@@rusokana3642 they are.

I believe that you should always encourage people to follow their dreams and let the circumstances be the ones that judges if they're ready or not. It's better for them to realize these things on their own, not by someone's opinion, specially if that someone is special to them, their opinion means a lot and if you realize they don't believe in your dream it becomes more personal than objective.

Denics well that's true unless the person demands that you be honest with them. Penny demanded honesty, he gave it to her and she couldn't handle it. Truth hurts, what Leonard said was true and it was high time she heard it. If I can avoid disappointment by someone telling me the honest truth I will not be arrogant enough to write them off. Often times it's better to go to the school of instruction instead of the school of hard knocks. You need to know the pros and cons honestly of what you getting into before just jumping in head first. I'll support my significant other's decisions in anything and she knows that and she also know I will give my honest opinion and the pros and cons of it. She unlike Penny can handle the truth cause she knows it does not mean I don't support her or that she's incapable of doing it. Penny and Leonard still had some growing in their relationship to do in this time. Eventually Penny will learn Leonard supports her no matter what regardless.

Gary Taylor timing bro, timing. Everything has a time to saym

I get that, but everybody has unrealistic childhood dreams, and for your hopes about those dreams to be raised, and then so cruelly and unexpectedly crushed is devastating, and I don't think that calls for a reality check. When you are broaching a sensitive topic with someone who is already upset, it pays to be tactful, and there were ways to say what Leonard said without hurting Penny like that.

You are right......but just don't say it when she's already sad.

Tell that to Betty white

@@karaigrayson8198 Betty White has been acting for many years before Golden Girls was a thing.

If penny is relying on her beauty to get an acting job then yeah, once she hits her 30s it becomes a bit more difficult. Not if she was genuinely talented.

Guys lose their looks by the time they reach their 30s but somehow that doesn’t matter for them. Double standard. Or we’re all supposed to be seeing the world through the eyes of men.

What good is getting paid once if she doesn't get publicity? Getting paid once doesn't really matter if no one knows who you are and therefore you don't get anymore jobs.

In show maybe her scene could have been included on a NCIS DVD as a deleted scene.

something tells me if more people saw her scenes she would get less jobs

What was your dream

Exactly

She dropped her dream-- to sell pharmaceuticals. Was her dreams bringing money for her? No. But funny enough, her failure as an actress has made her a damn good sales rep. She makes more money than Leonard now. So why is Leonard being blamed for his honesty when she asked for it.

She was mean before she did

@@ignaciogodoy7095 But she kept ASKING him a question!

Yeah I was looking for this comment.

I'd say it has more to do with timing in this instance than anything. People tend to fall into 2 groups. WHAT to say and HOW to say. But there's more to it than that. 1. What you say 2. To whom you speak 3. Of whom you speak 4. How you say it 5. When you say it 6. Where you say it

Exactly

The majority of people don't have tons of options out there. Yes, that might be true, but it's easy to get stuck in a rut when you don't see a lot of opportunity.

Lilymcd. 12 you mean colors. Just normal colors. Some of them happen to be in the rainbow, just like colors tend to be. But the rainbow has more than 5 colors.

Since when do agents and producers go to Comic Con to hire new actresses? That's no casting, it's a fan convention where thousands of people dress up as their favorite characters.

The difference between Joey and Penny is that Joey loved acting. Even if he never got famous and just had to do weird plays, he would still do it. He worked really hard and acted in whatever he could to become an actor. Penny doesn’t have the same drive as Joey. She just wants to be famous.

Penny shouldn't have demanded honesty from him and then getting mad at him for being honest. Douchy move by her. Then again, I am not surprised Penny has always treated him like shit before and after the marriage, even when he has done so many things for her, trying to change himself for her etc. Leonard deserved better than Penny.

@@everythingisawesome2903 I agree. And for those who say that he does not support he acting endeavours, that is far from the truth. He bought he a second hand car so that she can go to job casting.
